Follow-up Comment #10, bug #65474 (group groff): [comment #9 comment #9:] > I'll leave this one to cope with the issue of when we should > throw a warning, how.
Tadziu makes a cogent argument (http://lists.gnu.org/r/groff/2021-03/msg00024.html) that the warning is not spurious. Bjarni might be trying to make the same point, but, like John Gardner, I find his explanation... less cogent. (John's reply (http://lists.gnu.org/r/groff/2024-04/msg00016.html) is in the thread Bjarni mentions in comment #7.) My C analogy (comment #5) fails because, while the C compiler parses all if/then/else branches, the groff interpreter sometimes skips over some of them. I seemingly knew this at one time (evidence: bug #59434), but my brain, like the groff parser, skipped over that when composing comment #5. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?65474> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
